I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Maen didn't seem to hear the threats from the two deities who had suddenly intruded into this semi-spiritual, semi-material space. After they finished speaking, he turned around as if completely unconcerned.

He ignored the two deities with extreme arrogance, and looked at the black-robed figure who had replaced the old man:

"So, you're the one looking for trouble with me?"

The black-robed figure maintained a blank expression and remained silent, but this action was ironic at this moment, because Serraen couldn't answer Maen with any information about his identity.

He took half a step back:

"Kill him."

Maen turned to look at the God of Fire and the God of the Sea standing behind him. His deliberate ignorance had made the God of Fire feel somewhat dissatisfied, and his eyes showed a hint of anger as he looked at Maen.

As for the God of the Sea, she didn't seem offended at all. As an older deity, she was more patient, and she wasn't really invited as she appeared to be. She knew very well what she was facing.

This was also because they were different deities. The ocean's anger wasn't so flamboyant. The God of Fire's anger at this moment was in accordance with his nature, and was also brewing power for the upcoming battle.

Flames were meant to burn.

Looking at the two restless deities, Maen revealed a calm, almost arrogant expression:

"You only found these two deities? It seems you really couldn't find many V-level ability users to exploit. You actually found this group of prisoners trapped in the Southern Federation by the Titans. Do you really think they're stronger than the Federation?

"You're really stupid to be willing to be this guy's knife. Do you really think that just the two of you can compete with our Mithraic Alliance, or is it that all of you gods want to start a war with the Mithraic Alliance?"

Maen's words were extremely sharp, briefly pointing out a very important thing, that doing this was extremely unworthy for these two deities themselves—without other prerequisites.

But Serraen knew that the God of Fire and the God of the Sea actually had their own needs for Maen. At the same time, he promised the God of Fire to help him climb to a higher position, and the God of Fire, guessing that he might be from the Angel faction, would definitely not refuse.

Moreover, Maen also made a mistake here. From a mortal's point of view, doing so might not be worth it, but the God of Fire actually had no price to pay, because he wasn't afraid of death at all.

Not to mention that he also symbolized the image of fire, which was almost impossible to weaken. Even wanting to put him to sleep was extremely difficult, after all, the fear of fire had long been rooted in the depths of all human consciousness.

As for the reason why the God of the Sea would stand here firmly, it was exactly the opposite. She would help Serraen precisely because she, as a deity, was "afraid" of death, at least she didn't want to truly die now.

Therefore, she had to stand up and fight against Maen.

Furthermore, Maen didn't really realize his purpose. Serraen didn't intend to really kill Maen from the beginning. What he wanted to do was to force the Mithraic Alliance to expose more information, so "being unable to kill Maen" was actually a result that Serraen had expected, and Maen's threat was exactly what he wanted.

The God of the Sea smiled coldly:

"No, we don't intend to do anything to the Mithraic Alliance behind you, but so what if we really kill you here? Do you really think that this so-called Mithraic Alliance can threaten our immortal lives?

"The so-called revenge in your mouth is completely irrelevant to us. I don't believe that the Mithraic Alliance will attack us just because of a member like you, exposing more of their situation, even if they really do…"

"They will only bring us some insignificant troubles in a short period of time. From the perspective of our gods' long lives, the damage that the Mithraic Alliance can cause to us can be almost ignored. We are very patient.

"But the thing on you is exactly what I need."

In fact, the last sentence was also true. The thing behind Maen might even help her escape this dry, cold, endless land. She didn't take action in the past only because the risk was too high.

Moreover, the new power she had acquired now also helped her escape the curse. In this case, Maen wasn't that important anymore. If Serraen hadn't suddenly appeared, she wouldn't have wasted time on Maen.

What really made her appear here was because the Mithraic Alliance threatened the existence of the gods.

The God of Fire standing beside her didn't rush to attack as the other two deities and Maen expected. Instead, after waiting for the God of the Sea to express her indifference to the Mithraic Alliance, he looked at Maen and said:

"When I sent someone to retrieve my things, you didn't offer them directly, which has already laid the groundwork for your current dead end. You didn't treat the will of the gods correctly, but…"

"If you are willing to return my things now, I can be a little gentler."

Maen blinked, not quite understanding what he meant by this ambiguous sentence.

The God of Fire's words were also unexpected by Serraen and the God of the Sea. At this moment, what he was doing was obvious. The God of Fire was using the predicament created by Serraen and the God of the Sea to force Maen to submit. He planned to obtain what he wanted without paying anything.

Serraen used magic to speak to the God of Fire alone:

"After we kill him, you can retrieve your things, and don't you want us to fulfill our promise to help you replace Serraen's position and become the new King of the Gods?"

The God of Fire also immediately replied to Serraen alone:

"Our agreement is still valid, I just want to get my things in advance, after all, even if we win later, we may not be able to retrieve my things. Don't worry about me, I value our alliance more."

Seeing that Maen had no reaction, the God of Fire also said to him:

"This is your last chance to atone. I will not sign any contracts, but you also have to understand a very simple principle. If I get what I want, I don't have to kill you."

In fact, what the God of Fire said to Maen and Serraen was not a lie. He did want to ensure that he could retrieve the portal to the Titan ruins, but he was not completely uninterested in the black-robed man's proposal.

But it should be known that opposing Serraen was an extremely dangerous thing. If he offended the Mithraic Alliance at the same time, his situation might not be particularly good in the future, so he also had his own plans.

As long as Maen handed over the portal, he would act according to the circumstances. If he and the God of the Sea could suppress Maen relatively easily, then he would continue to help this black-robed man who might be from heaven.

And if Maen showed signs of being able to escape, then he would fulfill his agreement with Maen, not cause himself any more trouble, and leave it to them.

Therefore, he was very confident that Maen would immediately hand over the stolen portal, cleverly taking advantage of the dangerous situation Maen was in at the moment. At this moment, he could only bow his head to him to seek a way out.

But at this moment, Maen, who was standing opposite him, just smiled extremely abnormally.

Then he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some doubt and curiosity:

"You said the last chance to atone? Sorry, do you really think you can do anything to me? Or do you all think that we can't think of a way to deal with the gods? You should know where the portal in my hand leads to, right?

"Let me show you the current situation. Now is your last chance to tell the true identity of the guy behind you, otherwise we will take the Titans' relics to kill all of your believers.

"And I'm not talking about hundreds of years, the Mithraic Alliance has existed for a long time, and will exist for a long time."

Maen's arrogance was something that Serraen and the God of the Sea had not expected, but on closer thought, Maen's posture was so natural, because they knew very well that the Mithraic Alliance had already eliminated a deity.

This made Serraen a little afraid, because although he had never understood how the Mithraic Alliance's power worked, he had always felt that the Mithraic Alliance could not kill deities particularly easily.

Otherwise, the gods should have all fallen by now, or have been reduced to their slaves, but this situation has not become a reality, so he doesn't think that killing deities is particularly easy for the Mithraic Alliance.

But Maen's reaction seemed to be saying that doing so was not difficult, so he was not so afraid of the gods.

The most ignorant God of Fire was directly angered:

"You are really brave, then I will let you see what kind of great power the prisoners in your mouth possess."

As he showed an angry expression, scorching flames instantly poured out of his body, and two turbulent heat waves spewed directly from his eye sockets, and the entire room around him instantly turned into a sea of fire.

"Do it." Maen said calmly, then he just stood there, patiently waiting for the tide of high-temperature flames to engulf him, but he didn't seem to be affected in any way.

The ocean is naturally not afraid of fire.

Seeing this, the God of Fire just smiled, the burning flames had already burned down the room, and spread to all the places within Maen's field of vision, as if the distant city had long been engulfed in a sea of fire.

At this moment, he was in the middle of the fiery hell.

And the God of the Sea also noticed the surging power in his body, she narrowed her eyes slightly, in the past the God of the Sea had never heard of anyone who also possessed the power of the ocean, and this was not the same as the power of the ocean itself.

But just the second before the God of the Sea was about to attack Maen, a hazy figure appeared in front of her.

The figure that couldn't be seen clearly raised its hand, and then the raging fire around it instantly went out, and the other three figures also disappeared from the God of the Sea's eyes along with the flames. The room, which had been turned into ruins, instantly became almost as good as new, but there were still a few remaining holes in the roof.

A few strands of elusive and imperceptible bright moonlight flowed down along these holes, quietly falling on the floor of the room, shrouding both the God of the Sea and the hazy figure.

The God of the Sea stared at the figure opposite and said:

"You are the Mithraic Alliance member who helped Maen back then."

The hazy figure replied:

"That's right, I will trap you for him, don't think about leaving here."

The God of the Sea smiled coldly:

"Do you think he is the God of Fire's opponent?"

The hazy figure did not deny the meaning in the God of the Sea's words:

"Maybe not, but he doesn't need to win, we are just delaying time here, after all, you and the God of Fire are just knives being used, what we really care about is the existence behind you."

The God of the Sea glanced at the position of the window. At this moment, the scene outside had turned into a dark deep sea, and various kinds of fish were constantly hitting the walls of the house, trying to let the sea water pour into here.

She looked back at Serri and said:

"I'm also very curious how you offended this guy on the opposite side."

The God of the Sea couldn't sense the strength of the mental entity on the opposite side. At this moment, she was already using the imagination of the ocean in the consciousness of all human beings to oppress this mental cage, but the figure on the opposite side didn't show any signs of fatigue.

This may be because she is very good at hiding her state, but it is more likely because this degree of oppression can't cause her any threat in the short term, but this is also normal.

As a semi-spiritual entity, the God of the Sea is indeed not good at mental attacks, but she will not be easily defeated.

Now she just has to wait for Maen to be defeated. From the perspective of Serraen and her, Maen should be considered a particularly young V-level ability user, so he will not be the God of Fire's opponent.

It's only a matter of time before he wins, Maen was just bluffing just now…

Just as the God of the Sea was thinking this, she suddenly felt the air start to heat up, and then the scorching fire instantly occupied all of her vision, and at this moment, the area within a few hundred meters around Maen had turned into a lake, resisting the surging flames from the entire world in the middle.

She returned to that semi-spiritual, semi-material realm.

Could it be that the mental entity on the opposite side is already a little overwhelmed and can only return here to join forces with Maen to fight them? In that case…

But just as the deities were extremely puzzled, the hazy figure slowly appeared behind Maen, who was obviously delaying time, and then leaned over behind him like a subordinate and whispered a few words.

Then Maen's eyes lit up directly.

He looked up at the black-robed man watching the show in the distance, and then revealed the smile of a victor:

"Sorry, you have already lost.

"Serraen."

Silence suddenly descended.

The sea of fire that seemed to have swallowed the entire city instantly went out, and then as the lake around Maen also began to converge towards his body, the surrounding scenery slowly became clear again under the bright moonlight.

They returned to that dilapidated small house again.

But this time, the difference was that the deities on the opposite side could see the silver-white moonlight.

The God of the Sea looked at the hazy figure standing behind Maen in incomprehension, and a very strong fear and regret suddenly rose in her heart, because she had deeply realized what had just happened.

Just now, she had entered the depths of her heart without even realizing it, and silently obtained the information that Serraen was the mastermind, and she didn't notice anything at all.

If the mental entity on the opposite side wanted to, it could completely destroy all of her avatars quietly.

And the other deity also stood there directly, staring at the black-robed man in disbelief. At this moment, his head was also spinning frantically, trying to understand the scene in front of him. That's right, Serraen did have the motivation…

But how was this possible! How could he appear in his own temple and speak in that tone and manner? And how exactly did Mann and the others figure out Serein's true nature? In such a short amount of time.

Serein's image instantly became infinitely more terrifying in his mind, and at the same time, he suddenly realized that Mann's arrogant expression just now was not a bluff at all; he was actually telling the truth.

The back of the Fire God's incarnation was completely soaked with cold sweat.

He seemed to have become a pitiful sacrifice in the struggle between two terrifying entities.

And Serein's eyes were full of surprise as he looked at Mann, but not because Mann was able to detect his true identity in such a short time. It was normal for him to be able to uncover the truth.

Because standing behind him at this moment was the Moon God, who was in charge of minds and secrets, and this new Moon God, who had truly mastered the power of secrets at some unknown time, was now likely no less powerful than himself, the King of the Gods.

So that's how it is...

He had already lost.
